Revising Curriculum to Mentor Young Black Men
Dickerson, Sean; Agosto, Vonzell
Curriculum and Teaching Dialogue, v17 n1-2 p85-101 2015
A content analysis was conducted of a curriculum guide used in a community-mentoring program for Black male youth nationwide. Of the Black curriculum orientations outlined, functionalism and accommodationism were prevalent and embedded in deficit perspectives about Black males and their families, namely their resistance to change, progress, and development. Recommendations are to align the program's aims with the curriculum by integrating Black curriculum orientations emphasizing culture, agency, and understanding of the broader socio-political context.
